In a Tuesday morning interview with NewsMaxs Steve Malzberg, conservative commentator Ann Coulter responded to CNN host and former GOP leader Newt Gingrich, who recently dismissed her claims about him as being part of her book-selling shtick.

Appearing on Foxs Hannity last week, Coulter decried shysters like Gingrich for his 2012 presidential run, which she claims was done purely out of self-aggrandizement and, as she wrote in her book, the need to appeal to rubes and hotheads.

When asked about that comment, Gingrich touted his record as House Speaker under President Bill Clinton and said I wouldve thought [that] would have counted against the number of books shes sold, but people have got to go out and say something to sell books and shes found her schtick.

And so Coulters response from today: I fully credit him for some of the great things hes done. It was specifically his running for president. And I was right, hes doing it to get a TV show. He got himself a TV show.

Gingrich is now a co-host of CNNs Crossfire reboot.

The point is, she continued, its not helping the Republican Party to have these endlessly long primaries with people who are never going to be the nominee. And we have to face it. Its never going to be a member of Congress, its never going to be an inspirational leader, its never going to be a businessman.
